We have a lot of extremely talented friends in Skagway, Alaska. This year, some of our friends were asked to attend an invite-only Ice Carving competition in Breckenridge, Colorado last week. When the competition begins, each team starts carving a block of snow (weighing about 20 tons). They can only use hand tools (no power tools), so you can only imagine the work required.

65 hours later, Team Alaska’s block looked like this:

Notice the bear searching for the guy in the trailer? Well…he probably won’t find him…he’s stepped on him!! At the bottom right is their carving/sculpture that was the original design.

They didn’t win the competition, but they got Kid’s & People’s Choice…quite the compliment! Good job, guys!!
